Lately, multiple manufacturers have chosen not to release their most recent crop sensor AF lenses in EF-M mount.

  • Rokinon/Samyang 12mm f/2.0 - XF
  • Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 - E, XF, L
  • TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 - XF
  • Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 - E, XF
  • Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 - E, XF
  • Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7 - E, XF (compatible with full frame)
  • Tokina 23mm f/1.4 - E, XF
  • Tokina 33mm f/1.4 - E, XF
  • Tokina 56mm f/1.4 - E, XF
  • Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 - E, XF, Z
  • Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 - E, XF, Z (compatible with full frame)

Besides Sigma, both Tamron and Viltrox have previously released AF lenses for the M system and would already have the engineering work of defining AF protocols finished.

In terms of AF native lenses, EF-M only has 7 lenses from Sigma and Viltrox, all primes and 1 discontinued Zoom from Tamron.
I took a decade...

What will be the fate of the RF-S mount ?

With Canon's recent threats of legal action, no third party manufacturer is going to touch the RF/RF-S mount for years.

this is the first time I actually agree with you 100%

I wonder what Canon thinks they know that Sony, Fuji, and Nikon don't? It certainly is a puzzling move and off-putting to roughly 100% of their user base.
